This is particularly needed since the Lambeth 20mph zone ends at the Croydon border. We fear for the safety of school children and other pedestrians”.

b) A petition presented by Councillor Manju Shahul-Hameed behalf of the residents; “We the residents, traders and shoppers call upon Croydon Council to provide 30 minutes' free on street parking in Road from West Croydon to Norbury.

This petition will stand referred to the Cabinet Member for Environment & Highways.

d) A petition presented by Councillor Maggie Mansell on behalf of residents: “The David Lean Cinema was a successful and popular independent cinema. Its closure has dismayed large numbers of Croydon residents. Some ‘re-branded’ film screenings within the would represent a very poor substitute. We call upon Croydon Council to engage with any constructive proposals that could make it possible to re-open the cinema in its existing location”.

This petition will stand referred to the Cabinet Member for Customer Services, Culture and Sport.

e) A petition presented by Councillor John Wentworth on behalf of residents: “We the undersigned call on Croydon Council to take urgent action about the continued incidence of crime and anti-social behaviour in the Green Lane and neighbouring areas. As a first step, we call on the council to include our roads in the early stages of the Street Lighting Improvement Programme”.

This petition will stand referred to the Cabinet Member for Environment & Highways.

f) A petition presented by Councillor Yvette Hopley of behalf of residents. “We, the undersigned, request that Croydon Council reconsiders its decision not to extend the double yellow lines at the bend at the western end of the Lime Meadow Avenue, . Due to parking close to the junction and the camber of the road, which forces eastbound cars right out into the westbound carriageway, there have been a number of near misses and we believe it is only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured there.”

This petition will stand referred to the Cabinet Member for Environment & Highways.

g) A petition presented by Councillor Stuart Collins on behalf of residents: “Existing public conveniences in the London Borough of Croydon should be opened during normal working hours and all daylight hours. Existing public conveniences in the London Borough of Croydon should be maintained to acceptable health and safety standards. Existing public conveniences in the London Borough of Croydon should be monitored by council staff at least hourly to ensure their continued provision. Where public conveniences are not available negotiations should be made with local businesses to allow public access to their existing toilet facilities. The petitioners therefore request that the Councillors of the London Borough of Croydon take whatever action is necessary to implement the above requirements.”

This petition will stand referred to the Cabinet Member for Environment & Highways.
